PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "Potter. You're back. And you seem to have finally ruined my carpet."

GINNY: "Professor, I can't say that ever gets more dignified."

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "Mischief managed."

HARRY: "I need to find my son. We need to."

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL is onstage on her own. She looks at the map. She frowns to herself. She taps it with her wand. She smiles to herself at a good decision made.

There's a rattling.

GINNY is the first through the fireplace, and then HARRY.

The whole stage seems to vibrate.

HARRY: "Minerva, I come here in peace, not war. I should never have spoken to you that way."

DRACO arrives behind them with a bang of soot.

HARRY: "I need to say sorry to you and sorry to Albus, will you give me that chance?"

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "Draco?"

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "I just don't think I can interfere in friendships and I believe --"

DRACO: "He needs to see his son, and I need to see mine."

HARRY: "Like I say -- peace -- not war."

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL (Sighs.): "I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good."

The map is lit into action.

She taps it with her wand.

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "Well, peace is certainly something I can be part of."

DRACO: "In the girls' bathroom on the first floor. What on earth would they be doing there?"

PROFESSOR McGONAGALL: "Well, they are together."
